A six-bedroom farmhouse near Whitchurch sold for £115,000 at an auction in Shrewsbury last week.
In total, three country houses requiring extensive modernisation and a lock up shop with two flats all found buyers for a total of £1.1 million last Friday (September 27).
Halls auctioneers recorded a 100 per cent clearance for the second consecutive collective auction as a large crowd of bidders saw eight lots across Shropshire and the Welsh borderlands go under the hammer at the company’s headquarters.
One of the properties to go at auction was New Hall Farm, an imposing, six-bedroomed, Grade II-listed, period farmhouse at New Hall Lane, Bronington, which sold for £115,000, within its guide price.
Situated within generous gardens of 0.38 of an acre, the six-bedroomed property offered 3,500 square feet of living accommodation with a number of outbuildings in various states of disrepair.

Following the auction, Halls chairman Allen Gittins said: “The auction attracted a good crowd of buyers, some of whom had travelled some distance to attend.
“We are delighted to have continued the run of very good results for clients, with consecutive 100 per cent clearances.
“Certain properties, such as detached houses needing work or small parcels of land, sell much better by auction if they are marketed properly and are sensibly priced. However, you must know the market and not all properties are suitable for auction.”
Halls are now accepting entries for the next collective property and land auction on November 29, with a number of properties already consigned.
